NEAT LAUGHANSTOWN TRAM STOP

My photographs show a very narrow road that one needs to walk from Laughanstown Tram Stop to get to the old church and graveyard at Tully. As you can see from my photographs some people are are using the area as a rubbish dump. There are signs of extensive construction work under way in the area but some elements have the appearance of a stalled project.

If you visit this road take care as there is a surprising amount of traffic.

Laughanstown: The spelling of this name has varied considerably over time, and in some periods was almost indistinguishable from Loughlinstown, the name of which also varied. The spelling Laughanstown was adopted and fixed at the
time of the original Ordnance Survey in the 1830s. However, the evidence suggests that the name used locally was Lehaunstown, and this was noted by the Boundary Survey in the 1820s. Local usage did not change as a result
of the Ordnance Survey’s attempt to impose a new spelling.
